Jason Toney, currently of CBS Interactive, and previously of AXS/AEG, Disney Interactive, and Bunim-Murray Productions, is all about digital media. He's held site and content production roles and is presently most interested in data-driven strategy work. This is his personal blog. Yeah, he still does that on occasion.

I live on the right side of America's economic divide. We're not a paycheck to paycheck household. We don't balk at expensive meals or cringe at the rising price of gas or hold our nose (much) at air travel or hotel costs. Hell, that we take trips via plane and have real vacations make us very different than a far too large number of Americans.

It stings because it's true.

And while we eat well at pop-up restaurants and select grocery stores based on variety and specialty rather than cost, i'm increasingly aware that there are those who have to make the choice between cheap eats and diapers. I'm more frustrated that most of my tax dollars go to military spending rather than the basic human essentials of my fellow man. I'm mortified that there are serious debates about the value of food programs and universal health care and housing support. I'm ever more determined to do more.

So, this year, as I sit down with family in a warm home with an abundant table, I give thanks for being so fortunate.

And I give thanks that I have the opportunity and the will to do so much more for those less economically lucky.
